More: Beaux was the runt of his litter. He almost died his first week of life. His mom pushed him out of the litter. The owners brought him to us, my mom fosters/bottle feeds orphaned animals. After 3 weeks of bottle feedings every 2-3 hours, Beaux was strong enough to be placed back in the litter. After he was weaned , they gave him to me! We trained him to retrieve birds !! He’s the best ever at it! I was 12 at the time. We have grown up together! We both love hunting ! He has, and will always, be my best friend.
